Friday Quiz - Scrambled Eggs
Icy North Started conversation Dec 8, 2017
In this quiz, I post some words or phrases. The surname of a US president is scrambled within the letters of each one.
So, if I posted the following clue:
1. Flamboyant; Cambodian; Ambassador
The solution would be Obama. All the letters of OBAMA appear in each word/phrase in the list.
So, ten more presidential surnames for you to find:
1. Long-haired; Right-handed; Grandchild.
2. Metronomic; Post-modern; Love-monger.
3. Colour television; Revolutionised; Motor vehicles.
4. Mother-in-law’s tongue; Notwithstanding; Information superhighway.
5. Geriatric; Bureaucrat; Raconteur.
6. Double-crossing; Ideological; Police dog.
7. Generated; Arlington; Nightmare.
8. Event horizon; Overshadowed; Governorship.
9. Undramatic; Miniature; Running mate.
10. Dogmatising; Dipsomaniac; Chain-smoked.
Now, it's fairly easy to work these out systematically, so I'm going to challenge you to solve them visually - without paper, pencil or other tools.

2. Monroe
Got to go fast before Gnomon turns up and rattles them all off. Nice to notice that Monroe is also an anagram of Mooner.

3 could also be Roosevelt, though I leave it to you which Roosevelt it was.

Also, 8 could *not* be Roosevelt, because there's no "s"
